Madden 13

The patriots playbook is the worst for it. Some 5 wide plays sub in danny wood head. alot of plays use hernandez as a WR. Defensive plays where theres a LB in as DE or having 3DE's in.

Did you check the Packages with the right stick at playcalling. Often you find one which would put all WR on the field.

Thank you.

For anyone interested, yesterday was the Virgin Gaming EA Sports Challenge Series grand finals were in Las Vegas yesterday. The best Madden players in the world gathered for a 256 player tournament with the winner getting $140,000. Check out the final match here:

It's 49ers vs 49ers, the slaggiest of non-sim gameplay, and the Indian commentator guy is terrible, but it's still quite entertaining I find.

I'm bamboozled looking at the quickness in the changing of plays

The adjustments are like something out of Minority Report.

Has any1 ever tried team play online?
I experienced both the good and the bad of it there.
1st game the captain picked the vikings and himself as RB,he just picked running plays all game,every1 left after a quarter(both my team and opponents).
2nd game I got in as captain,just me and another guy and it was really good.
He took control of the DL and WR's and I had QB and LB's.It was good cause on offense he was quite good on route running,catching and on defence he was good at stopping the run and usering the safety,we ran out comfortable winners.
The 3rd game,my god I got stuck with 2 clowns,on defence the opponents were calling runs all the time cause these 2 were usering every1 and couldn't tackle with any them,the opponents were literally walking it into the red zone.
On offence was no better,talk about lads who didn't know how to stick to a route they were flying all over the shop.
The left at half time but the damage was done.
I think I'd play it again cause the 2nd game was so enjoyable,luck of the draw really

I think one of the stickies, Whos Who and Boards Community or something to that effect, has a spreadsheet with the teams and users by division.

And Perrin, we should try and get like a 3v3 Team Play tournament going! Never tried it myself.

Ya even a few 2v2 friendlies would be good,like I mentioned the 2nd game I play with the decent guy was really good,we had the whole "unagi" thing going

davetherave

Yeah, I'd be up for that.

All this retirement talk got me thinking...has anyone ever seen a player retire in Madden and then come back? They advertised it as a feature this year but the only one I've ever seen comeback is Kurt Warner.

Tom Brady took a year off in one of my offline franchises along with Donald Driver. Brain Billick is another favorite to comeback.

Have to say I am disappointed with the feature. I thought it would have been the likes of Barry Sanders and Michael Irvin. I know it wouldn't have been realistic but its a video game at the end of the day. Surprise surprise, nobody picked up Driver.

He's good, but he's no Coby Fleener :cool:

I just bought Consistency, Ball Player and Big Hitter traits for Webb. He is some beast.

Mikeyt086

I've bought 'Big Hitter' for Russell Allen, Rashean Mathis, Derek Cox, Amari Spievey and Paul Poszlusny. Hold RB lads.

I joined the PFL, got into 2 more Madden leagues (3 total) and 1 NBA league and I still have to play ranked games to get enough! 5-0 in ranked now, the people around my level are all terrible.

PFL,thats the thing that Berty and the guys are in,be a while before I'm up to that standard

Ya that's the one. I wouldn't worry about standards though, I've been there for about 3 weeks and have played around 10 games over the 2 leagues I'm in, I've been beaten badly once, had 3 very easy games, and 4 or 5 nail biters. Just like our league here there are some lads who are very good, and some lads who are new to the game/terrible :P But what I have noticed is that if you are struggling with anything there are a lot of knowledgeable people who are more than willing to help. Also, the better players here like Berty and Ben are the better players on PFL as well, think Ben won a superbowl last season, so they have a fear of anyone Irish.

If you want to play more Madden in a league structure then join, don't worry about not being good enough as I know for a fact I've played others far worse than yourself. There also happen to be a number of dropouts from a couple of leagues at the moment.

helimachoptor

Ben has won 2 SB's on the trot i think over there along with a perfect season iirc, Bertys also had a perfect season over there which are huge achievements.. they were all scared to play me.. now not so much!

But just to echo what mikey says, it's a great community and there's a good but of banter especially during games

PerrinV2

Might just join the forums later tonight and lurk for a bit
